The moment it was announced, The Best of All Worlds event immediately caught every guitar lover's attention. As if Joe Satriani playing Eddie Van Halen's parts wasn't enough of a fun idea, it's a quartet also featuring Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, and Jason Bonham. Together, they hit the road on July 13, with a total of 28 shows up until the end of August.

There's also been a lot of ruckus online due to Joe Satriani's performance of Van Halen's "Mean Street" on The Howard Stern Show. However, we have no doubt that Satch has all the Eddie Van Halen parts sorted out, and we can hear that in these new social media posts on Sammy Hagar's channels.

The former Van Halen singer shared a few rehearsal videos where we get a small taste of what's it going to be like at their live shows. You can check out a few of these songs in embedded players below.

Ultimate Guitar knows what’s up

Pro tip: always abandon your basket

tl;dr When shopping online, the moment a site has your email address, they WILL desperately use it. Even if you already have a discount or affiliate link+discount: put stuff in your basket, look at the final price, and close the browser tab. A few hours later, there's a good chance you'll have an email with further discount. Got one for Distrokid some time ago.

Today I was browsing Ultimate Guitar - clearly an evil site, a hodgepodge of old code and user-generated content that they want to monetize. In good faith (their new owners run MuseScore, Audacity and Audio.com which is like a non-awful version of soundcloud) I decided to see what their awesome 80% discount is about. The product page doesn't explain well what does the Pro subscription give you, nor does it mention the price. I cave in, register, and see that they want to ask 65 EUR (after an 80% discount) for.... something? I still don't know what. I say no thanks. The immediately say "ok how about 85%?". Just like that. With one click, they dropped the price 15 EUR. I'm seething because it feels incredibly unfair to those people who paid more.

And yes, an hour later I got an email with a 90% discount offer. Apparently I can get "250,000 + HQ Tabs", "Tempo control", "Chord library", "Practice Tools" for... I guess 35 euro per year?

It's hard making money online. I get it. But hey, I just saved 35 euro on something I'm not buying.

apparently, ultimate guitar doesn't accept tabs for unreleased songs - which, cool, whatever, but i know i've seen them on there before? & i've avidly used uguitar for years without ever running into this before ,, not a big deal by any means, just bizarre lol. i guess i won't be sharing them with the world

[ettiqu-rtz]

ultimate guitar is such a horrendous app. plus it’s so slow and constantly crashing. does anyone know of any (preferably free) alternatives?

[senormary]

those bitches will make up random notes and when you mention it they get mad and call you stupid

Wolfgang Van Halen has admitted that he was "nervous as hell" performing his late father Eddie's songs at last year's Taylor Hawkins tribute concerts.

Wolfie played three Van Halen songs — "On Fire", "Hot For Teacher" and "Panama" — over the course of two concerts last September alongside Dave Grohl on bass, Josh Freese on drums and The Darkness' Justin Hawkins on vocals.

In a new interview with Rock Sound conducted at this weekend's Download Festival in the UK, Wolf looked back on that Hawkins tribute concerts, saying:

"Oh, man. I was nervous as hell. Taking away any emotional weight to it all, just performing with three musicians who I've loved my entire life and looked up to was crazy enough, but then you add the emotional weight of it all for Taylor. [It was] probably one of the only few times I'd ever really play any songs like that for Pop and for Taylor. Yeah, just an insane thing that I'll never forget."

Wolfie is set to release "Mammoth II," the second album from his post-Van Halen band Mammoth WVH, on August 4th.

Something about Charles Rowland just screams he’d want to learn drums.

Confession

{ID - Two panel comic of Ibuki Mioda and The Ultimate Imposter from Danganronpa 2

Panel 1 : Imposter looks up into Ibuki's eyes with a worried expression, tenderly holding her hand. he says "My dear, Mioda. Before we Proceed as we are, I have something important that I have been hiding from you... I am not the real Byakuya Togami, I am merely an imposter."

Panel 2 : Ibuki bounces, lowering her head with a wide grin on her face. She lifts imposters hands up excitedly yelling "OH THANK GODS, Ibuki was starting to worry that she might have fallen head over heels for a stinky billionaire!!!!!!" END ID}
